All right, we'll try again.

Amazon did not update the DX because it wasn't popular enough.
Amazon has a different measurement of success than Kobo.
Amazon correctly deduced that not enough people were interested in the DX for its larger size to make it financially worth it for them to pursue a large-screen device.
